In your opinion, do you reckon wrong item method will have higher success rate over the sealed box method? As afaik macbooks come sealed.

In my view, I believe the sealed box method has a better chance of success.

Of course, there are a number of factors to consider. For example, whether the box has been sealed as per the manufacturer's state without any signs of tampering whatsoever, Its weight (obviously) matching the original content, and If the company has the manpower to "thoroughly" and physically check every Intricate detail.
